76ers vs Knicks Prediction
The Knicks have won 7 of the last 10 games against the 76ers, so the free bucket is worth a look. However, the Knicks just lost to the Pacers last night and now have to get off the canvas and go into Philly. Not a great spot. The 76ers are playing decent ball, and they’re a profitable 29-22-2 ATS on the season. At home with the rest advantage, it’s hard not to give the 76ers the edge. Hart, Bridges, and Brunson all topped 40 minutes last night. Not ideal. Give me the 76ers and the small number.
